Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Kimber Micro carry .380

Damn what a nice li pocket pistol? Right?

Anyone? Thoughts?

Have you compared the Sig to the Kimber? I thought the Sig had a much nicer trigger when I handled them at a local shop.

I'm pretty sure the kimber micro carry has a bad rep on the internet. Google it.

Interesting, I was standing at the counter and another customer mentioned how much he liked the Sig.

BTB, thanks

I'm gonna pass.

Too many safeties, too many external hammers.

I have the little Sig, and no way I'd trust another Kimber. Sig works perfectly. I've had Kimber 1911s before, and sold both for reliability issues. I know others personally who've had the same problems with their Kimber 1911s and sold them. No way I'd trust a Kimber .380 auto.

That too. While my little Sig is reliable, I no longer consider that style of handgun the best for concealed carry. Give me a striker fired handgun every time.

I almost bought a G42. That would be my choice if I had to have a pocket .380. Ended up with a G43 after I bought my wife one.

Isn't the Sig referenced a single action with side safety? I never could get over feeling unsafe with a cocked and locked single action pocket pistol with only a side safety.

BROUGHT A MICRO ABOUT A MONTH AGO, HAVE ABOUT 100 ROUNDS THROUGH SO FAR. NO PROBLEMS SO FAR, VERY WELL BUILT.

Yes it's a cock and lock type pistol. Keep in mind the safety doesn't disengage easily and it has about an 8lb trigger. I would feel more comfortable with it in my pocket than a stricker fire without a safety.

Dang thing SHOULD be for about $1100+ bux..



They are very cute though....very cute.

Why compare it to a striker fire that doesn't have a safety? Some do. Also, are you referring to pocket carry without a holster?

I haven't shot one, but the Kimber is by far the best looking aesthetically speaking. The one I saw was done up like a Raptor and it was a very good looking pistol. Even the plain one was better looking than the Sig. Comparatively speaking I found both to have very similar triggers. But I couldn't tell you how well the Kimber works. It's a solid design, so if it's made right it ought to work.

CC I want a double action.

Wife likes hers

FWIW, The one I looked at was NIB $599. After SeaRunRainbows post I thought,, damn I was a little quick to judge. It's slim quality feel is what attracted me from the get go. Less is more in something I'd actually carry ALOT.

I do like this tho..

I'll spend money on a nice handgun, but my LCP has been 100% reliable and surprisingly easy to hit with. For a gun that lives in the pocket and may only see 100 rounds a year at the range, I hate to spend Kimber money when Ruger money gets the job done with less fuss.
